I hate that you were born from plastic parts – a robo cat
But like Frankenstein, I love your becoming
as my pet
through electric flick of switch
I hate that you don’t have a true-velvet pussycat nose
But I love that my nose is free of sneezes when buried into your nylon fur and breathe in
I hate the jolt of penetration when your toxic man-made whisker pokes my eye
But I love that when I touch your breast, a purr emerges as true as any vibrating joy
I hate that I am cat lady without cat
But I love the safety net, to know
the love I give to you is the same amount I’m getting back
